Site Down For Maintenance - apache

I have a site arranged as follows with subdomains as subdirectories:
/ [webroot]
/subdomain1/
/subdomain2/
I'd like to create an htaccess file that rewrites all accessed files to maintenance.php w/ 503 message, but I'm not sure why the following does not catch the subdirectories?
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.222\.333\.444$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance\.php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]
Do I have to call out each subdirectory something like...
RewriteRule ^/subdirectory1(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/subdirectory2(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]

This should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} !^111\.222\.333\.444
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/maintenance.php$
RewriteRule $ /maintenance.php [L]

If you have additional htaccess files in your subdirectories, you have to watch for changes after you remove that file. If htacess controls rewrite, you may receive 404 errors when you view those pages.
I was expecting to see the maintenance page, not realizing I needed to have a different ip address according to the following code:
This code allows your ip to view the site and no one else:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#ip is not your ip. Change ip to see maintenance page
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^111\.222\.333\.444$
#requests made not to maintenance.php ...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/maintenance\.php$
#rewrite to maintenance.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /maintenance.php [L]

htaccess file set /prod/ as /

How can I write the .htaccess that it removes the /prod?
I have this document tree:
/
/prod
/dev
now I want that my URL looks like https://example.com and not https://example.com/prod when I want to see the content of /prod
I already tried this but in only redirects from / to /prod:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/prod/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /prod/$1 [L,R=301]
This probably is what you are looking for:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?prod$ / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/?prod/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/dev/?
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/prod/?
RewriteRule ^ /prod%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
This will work likewise in the actual http server's host cnfiguration or, if you do not have access to that, in a distributed configuration file (".htaccess") located in the host's DOCUMENT_ROOT folder.

htaccess redirect all subdomains to the same directory

I want to be able to redirect all subdomains to a folder:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteRule (.+)$ "http://example.com/subdomains/%1" [L,P]
for example, if some visits sub1.example.com it will keep the URL but show example.com/subdomains/sub1 and if the sub1 directory does not exist, it will show example.com/404
Is this possible?
I tried the above code but its showing me:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server.
Wordpress says:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
and at the top of my htaccess file, is:
RewriteEngine On
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} admin.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /admin/system/$1 [L]
Your above .htaccess would externally redirect the calls, as you use a full URL as the target.
In your question you say you want to keep the hostname, so I will assume that is the requirement.
0) Enable rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On
1) Rewriting known subdomains to their directory in /subdomains
# Rewrite known subdomains to /subdomains/{subdomain}/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdomains [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/404 [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /subdomains/%1/ [L]
When we encounter a request with a subdomain,
and we have not rewritten it to /subdomains
and we have not rewritten it to /404
then rewrite it to /subdomains/{subdomain}/
So, if the request was
http://foo.example.com/hello
the URL in the browser would stay the same, but internally be mapped to
/subdomains/foo/
2) Rewriting unknown subdomains to /404
# Rewrite missing unknown subdomains to /404/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^/.]+)\.example\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/subdomains [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/404 [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /404/ [L]
When we encounter a request with a subdomain,
and we have already rewritten it to /subdomains
and we have not rewritten it to /404
and it is not existing as a file
and it is not existing as a directory
and it is not existing as a symlink
then rewrite it to /404
So, if the request was
http://bar.example.com/hello
the URL in the browser would stay the same, but internally be mapped to
/subdomains/bar/
by the first RewriteRule from 1).
If /subdomains/bar/ does not exist, the second RewriteRule from 2) will kick in and internally map it to
/404/
3) Test-Environment
I actually tested all of this with exemplary code, available here: https://github.com/janpapenbrock/stackoverflow-36497197
I'd say you are experiencing a permission issue. I guess your Apache server runs as apache user. Use chmod to give apache access to this path.

Rewrite only root without redirect not working

I have a problem that I can't get to rewrite only root to file. For example example.com to example.com/landing-page/mypage.html but keep all other addresses like example.com/something/ intact.
Currently for test purposes I have managed to redirect /test/ and my .htaccess looks like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/test/.*$
RewriteRule . /wp-content/themes/mytheme/landing_page.html [L]
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
But now if I try to redirect only root and replace RewriteCond with
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
it doesn't work and it loads my Wordpress site.
UPDATE:
I tested on another server using just simple rule RewriteRule ^/?$ /mypage/landing-page.html [L] also keeping WordPress lines and it works there, but the same lines do not work on this server. So now the question arises what server settings might be preventing this simple rule.
Looks like you forgot to turn on the RewriteEngine in your second example .
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /landing-page/mypage.html [NC,L]

.htaccess parse url works on localhost but gets redirect loop on VPS host

I'm trying to parse urls with .htaccess and pull our either 1 or 2 parameters to load content based on the url.
If only the first url param (site.com/param1) is present then that's fine and should route to index.php?c=param but could also be (site.com/param1/param2) and get routed to index.php?c=param1&p=param2
It works perfectly on MAMP PRO running on Mavericks but when I clone the repo onto our VPS I get a redirect loop. There is an admin area for the site so I need to ignore the any url that follows the pattern
site.com/admin
The "parsable" urls follow this pattern
site.com/param1
or
site.com/param1/param2
The .htaccess looks like this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
## SEO REWRITES ###
RewriteRule ^(admin) - [L]
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&e=$2
## URL PARSE ##
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?c=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /index.php?c=$1&p=$2
</IfModule>
I'm lost but I feel like I'm missing something simple here. The most confusing part is that it has worked since development began. Anyone have any ideas as to why the redirect loop when running on an vps with apache but not on localhost or more importantly how to get it parsing on the live server.
Im now using this which works except when the trailing slash is missing from the url, then it breaks, Ive tried dif variations to let it match without a trailing slash but i just get 404's or internal server errors:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(admin) - [L]
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&e=$2
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ /index.php?c=$1&p=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)/$ /index.php?c=$1&p=index [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
Have it this way:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
## SEO REWRITES ###
RewriteRule ^(admin) - [L]
RewriteRule ^/?(\w+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1&e=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^/?(\w+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L,QSA]
## URL PARSE ##
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?c=$1&p=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?c=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
The problem is that
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ /index.php?c=$1
matches
index.php?c=blah
You need to add a rule so that any valid paths are served without modification.
Try adding
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
just after RewriteEngine on

htaccess remove index.php from url

I have a problem whereby google has indexed some pages with the wrong url.
The url they are indexing is:
http://www.example.com/index.php/section1/section2
I need it to redirect to:
http://www.example.com/section1/section2
.htaccess isn't my forte, so any help would be much appreciated.
The original answer is actually correct, but lacks explanation. I would like to add some explanations and modifications.
I suggest reading this short introduction https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/intro.html (15mins) and reference these 2 pages while reading.
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/flags.html
This is the basic rule to hide index.php from the URL. Put this in your root .htaccess file.
mod_rewrite must be enabled with PHP and this will work for the PHP version higher than 5.2.6.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/$1 [L]
Think %{REQUEST_FILENAME} as the the path after host.
E.g. https://www.example.com/index.html, %{REQUEST_FILENAME} is /index.html
So the last 3 lines means, if it's not a regular file !-f and not a directory !-d, then do the RewriteRule.
As for RewriteRule formats:
So RewriteRule (.*) /index.php/$1 [L] means, if the 2 RewriteCond are satisfied, it (.*) would match everything after the hostname. . matches any single character , .* matches any characters and (.*) makes this a variables can be references with $1, then replace with /index.php/$1. The final effect is to add a preceding index.php to the whole URL path.
E.g. for https://www.example.com/hello, it would produce, https://www.example.com/index.php/hello internally.
Another key problem is that this indeed solve the question. Internally, (I guess) it always need https://www.example.com/index.php/hello, but with rewriting, you could visit the site without index.php, apache adds that for you internally.
Btw, making an extra .htaccess file is not very recommended by the Apache doc.
Rewriting is typically configured in the main server configuration
setting (outside any <Directory> section) or inside <VirtualHost>
containers. This is the easiest way to do rewriting and is recommended
To remove index.php from the URL, and to redirect the visitor to the non-index.php version of the page:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
This will cleanly redirect /index.php/myblog to simply /myblog.
Using a 301 redirect will preserve Google search engine rankings.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)index\.php($|\ |\?)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,L]
Assuming the existent url is
http://example.com/index.php/foo/bar
and we want to convert it into
http://example.com/foo/bar
You can use the following rule :
RewriteEngine on
#1) redirect the client from "/index.php/foo/bar" to "/foo/bar"
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php/(.+)\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [NE,L,R]
#2)internally map "/foo/bar" to "/index.php/foo/bar"
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
In the spep #1 we first match against the request string and capture everything after the /index.php/ and the captured value is saved in %1 var. We then send the browser to a new url.
The #2 processes the request internally. When the browser arrives at /foo/bar , #2rule rewrites the new url to the orignal location.
Steps to remove index.php from url for your wordpress website.
Check you should have mod_rewrite enabled at your server.
To check whether it's enabled or not - Create 1 file phpinfo.php at your root folder with below command.
<?php
phpinfo?();
?>
Now run this file - www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php and it will show mod_rewrite at Load modules section.
If not enabled then perform below commands at your terminal.
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
Make sure your .htaccess is existing in your WordPress root folder, if not create one .htaccess file
Paste this code at your .htaccess file :-
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
Further make permission of .htaccess to 666 so that it become writable and now you can do changes in your wordpress permalinks.
Now go to Settings -> permalinks -> and change to your needed url format.
Remove this code /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
and insert this code on Custom Structure: /%postname%/
If still not succeeded then check your hosting, mine was digitalocean server, so I cleared it myself
Edited the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
Added this line after DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Restart your apache server
Note: /var/www/html will be your document root
Do the following steps
1. Make sure that the hosting / your pc mod_rewrite module is active. if not active then try to activate in a way, open the httpd.conf file. You can check this in the phpinfo.php to find out.
change this setting :
#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
to be and restart wamp
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
2. Then go to .htaccess file, and try to modify to be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
if above does not work try with this:
RewriteEngine on
# if a directory or a file exists, use it directly
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php
3. Move .htaccess file to root directory, where is index.php there.
www OR root folder
- index.php
- .htaccess
Some may get a 403 with the method listed above using mod_rewrite. Another solution to rewite index.php out is as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Put your installation directory here:
RewriteBase /
# Do not enable rewriting for files or directories that exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
I have used many codes from the above mentioned sections for removing index.php form the base url. But it was not working from my end. So, you can use this code which I have used and its working properly.
If you really need to remove index.php from the base URL then just put this code in your htaccess.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]
This will work, use the following code in .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
# Send would-be 404 requests to Craft
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(favicon\.ico|apple-touch-icon.*\.png)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.+) index.php?p=$1 [QSA,L]
I don't have to many bulky code to give out just a little snippet solved the issue for me.
i have https://example.com/entitlements/index.php rather i want anyone that types it to get error on request event if you type https://example.com/entitlements/index
you will still get error since there's this word "index" is contained there will always be an error thrown back though the content of index.php will still be displayed properly
cletus post on "https://stackoverflow.com/a/1055655/12192635" which
solved it
Edit your .htaccess file with the below
to redirect people visiting https://example.com/entitlements/index.php to 404 page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.php[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
to redirect people visiting https://example.com/entitlements/index to 404 page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \index[\ /?].*HTTP/
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [R=404,L]
Not withstanding we have already known that the above code works with already existing codes on stack see where i applied the code above just below the all codes at it end.
# The following will allow you to use URLs such as the following:
#
# example.com/anything
# example.com/anything/
#
# Which will actually serve files such as the following:
#
# example.com/anything.html
# example.com/anything.php
#
# But *only if they exist*, otherwise it will report the usual 404 error.
